siglo X E.C.


Explanation:
E.C. = era común.
Se usa si no se quiere hacer referencia a niguna religión.
Creo que si en el texto original no dice A.D. en español no tendría que decir tmp D.C. ni hacer referencia a Cristo (o la religión cristiana).

una pequeña definición que igual te puede interesar http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Era_Común
"La era común es la denominación que reemplaza alternativamente la de "era cristiana". Se designa a través de ella el mismo período de tiempo que computa los años a partir del año 1(convencionalmente el año del nacimiento de Jesús) pero con una visión universal que excluye la parcialidad religiosa.
AEC o a. e. c. (‘antes de la era común’) y EC o e. c. (‘era común’), son usos alternativos de las abreviaciones a. C. (‘antes de Cristo’) y d. C. (‘después de Cristo’) establecidas por el anno Dómini del calendario cristiano. La utilización de e. c. como ‘era común’ se utiliza crecientemente en todo el mundo para unificar criterios con culturas, religiones e ideologías de todas las latitudes que no se sienten representadas con un calendario de origen cristiano."

y un par de definiciones en inglés:
1) http://www.religioustolerance.org/ce.htm
"CE stands for "Common Era." It is a relatively new term that is experiencing increased usage and is expected to eventually replace AD. The latter is an abbreviation for "Anno Domini" in Latin or "the year of the Lord" in English. The latter refers to the approximate birth year of Yeshua of Nazareth (a.k.a. Jesus Christ). CE and AD have the same and value. 2004 CE = 2004 AD."

2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era#Usage
(...) he term "Common Era" is preferred by some as "Common Era" does not use religious titles for Jesus such as "Christ" and "Lord" which are implicit in the BC-AD notation. Andrew Herrmann, writing in the Chicago Sun-Times, observes, "The changes — showing up at museums, in academic circles and in school textbooks — have been touted as more sensitive to people of faiths outside of Christianity." However, Herrmann notes, "The use of BCE and CE have rankled some Christians. In 2000, the Southern Baptist Convention [of the United States] criticized the use of BCE and CE, calling them 'the result of secularization' and 'political correctness'.
